Salt Lake County Library Services Presents
"The Mysterious, Happy Life
of Brown Bag"
Friday, March 22, 2013 at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.
The one-act play tells the poignant story of a boy who was born with a very unique physical difference, and chronicles his struggle to fit in, told from the perspective of his mother and his first-grade school teacher. The timely themes of the play explore bullying, diversity, parenting and education, as well as the inevitability of human fragility. This thought-provoking and entertaining show will be followed by a panel discussion. Presented in partnership with Pygmalion Productions and Art Access.
The play was first produced by Pygmalion Productions for the 2010 Page-to-Stage Festival at Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City, where it won the festival’s “Best Play” and “Best Production” awards. Since then it has been performed at Art Access in Salt Lake City, at the 2011 Troubled Youth Conference in Snowbird for professional educators, at a staff day for Salt Lake County Library and a conference for the Utah State Office of Education. In the fall of 2011, Pygmalion was invited to perform "Brown Bag" at each of the Washington County middle schools, which amounted to six performances in five schools in two days, where over 3,000 students got to see it. It was also performed again at Rose Wagner for the Rose Exposed event last year.
